Conman Who Sold Couple's Home Has To Repay £300k

Syed Bukhari, 38, posed as “Gerry Patel” from the pair’s local Lloyds bank to persuade them to hand over details he used to sell their £200,000 property.

By the time police unravelled the scam, the home in Fulwood, Lancs, had been sold to a private company for £160,000 – and their £150,000 nest egg had vanished.

As well as the hair transplants, Bukhari, from south Manchester, bought a business-class flight to Dubai, splurged £11,000 on a luxury hotel stay and rented several Lamborghinis. He also bought Rolex watches, jewellery, designer clothes, bags and mobile phones.

Scams

In 2018 he was jailed for almost eight years after admitting fraud.

Between Tories And Reform Lies A Good Centre-Right Party

THE CONSERVATIVES began this election campaign by telling wavering voters that a vote for Reform UK was a wasted vote that the next Prime Minister is inevitably going to be either Rishi Sunak or Keir Starmer and, therefore, voting for anyone else would simply help the latter into Number 10.
